The Robot Cognition Training Program is designed to play cognition training games to help them improve their memories and other skills.

The robots are already being piloted in the Scandinavian country, but scientists wish to confirm that the robots’ speech is suitable allow it to play games and communicate with older Danish people.

The SILBOT and MERO robots are being tested at an elder care facility in Aarhus, Denmark’s second-largest city, as a way to offer educational services to users without employing many expensive specialist staff. Users perform tasks such as making the Silbot robot move in a certain pattern on a checkered floor or following a rhythm it produces.

“Here it is necessary to be absolutely focused, and I can see in everyday life that it is good to be focused on specific things,” she told Danish news media after observing center users testing the technology.

“To begin with they weren’t that focused on the exercises but now they are doing brain programs every time they come here.”

And Danish retiree Olaf Christensen, who tried out the programs, said: “I have experienced that I get better at remembering numbers and such things.”

The pilot project sponsored by the Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy has also been held in Helsinki, Finland, in the hope of suggesting new methodology for the European elderly welfare system.

It is hoped they could also be used in Korea and the U.S. if the advanced intelligent robots integrate successfully with Europe’s substantial welfare infrastructure.

Specialists from Samsung Medical Center in Seoul have also been analyzing participants’ improvement in cognitive abilities, concentration and concentration after playing the robot games, in comparison to improvements seen by people trained by human teachers.
